    Aztex, not Aztecs. And they didn't just start playing this year, they've been in the PDL.
    Sacramento, not Sacremento.

    And there was no Los Angeles Blues team in the PDL from 1999-2010. There was a Pali Blues team in the W-League for years and now OC has a PDL team, but I am not sure which club you believe became the Los Angeles/Orange County Blues pro team.

    And I guess you are meaning CONTINUOUS play, because there was a Tulsa Roughnecks in the USISL in 1993

    And in the D3 Pro League in 1997.

    But that doesn't mean they're 22 years old. Of course it's continuous (or nearly) play.

    We're going to have to give the Roughnecks history a little more respect than this.
